Program Description
The goal of the program is to prepare students in the context of mechanical engineering, focusing on three main domains; energy systems; mechatronics, and control and manufacturing. The program allows students to choose between various electives including (internal combustion engines, turbo-machinery, aerodynamics, and robotic systems). This program aims to help undergraduate students integrate their technical knowledge, communication skills and professional education gained at AUD, into solving real-world problems, in turn, preparing graduates for professional careers in this field and their future post-graduate studies.
Program Details
- The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.) degree is a four-year program consisting of 137 hours of required credit.
- Core subjects are split into Mathematics/Natural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Mechanical Engineering.
- There are also 9-15 credit hours of mechanical engineering electives, where students can choose from courses including Computer Aided Mechanical Design, Mechatronic Systems, Engineering Aerodynamics, and Internal Combustion Engines.
Upon completing their studies, graduates will be able to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex mechanical engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences, through oral, written, graphic, and electronic channels.
- Make informed engineering decisions, guided by ethical and professional responsibility, and consider the global impact of engineering solutions on the economy, environment, and society.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies such as self-regulated learning, experimentation, and cooperative learning.
